This is the first book in which special atten-tion is paid to the
Etruscan interpretation of Greek mythical representations on
Etruscan bronze mirrors. The book focuses on representations with
inscriptions (c. 480-250 B.C.). These epigraphic scenes raise many
questions. Did the engravers and patrons understand Greek myths?
Were the engravers inspired by visual, oral or literary sources or
by a combination thereof? What was their modus operandi? In which
art forms can visual precedents be found? Introductory chapters
shed light on the status of Etruscan mirrors, their owners, givers
and recipients; furthermore production centres, distribution, the
influence of Attic and South Italian red figure vases and the
shifting interest in themes are discussed. More than one hundred
mirror-representa-tions are analysed in chronological order,
according to general themes: lovewrestling, abduction, immortality,
healing, purification, divination, rescue, birth, rebirth,
adoption, rejuvenation, dilemma, contest, victory, the relationship
between mother and sons, couples, toilet, music and suicide.
